I am basing the calculations of savings requested by the Deputy on the total expenditure on training and development in 2012. Some €223,286 was spent on training and development in 2012.

The following table shows the saving to the Exchequer of a 5%, 7%, 10%, 12%, 15%, 17% and 20% reduction in the training and development expenditure of my Department for 2012.
